Found an ancient EB ad

This was in "Rockin'" August 1978 magazine, the People Into Music issue.

BP, was this just a list of common gauges used on these instruments, or what was in it?

Whoa, that is old! Cool find!

yes it was so people could replace other makers gauges from our single box if they broke a string...problem is that every body switched to our gauges

Balls are best!

The music shop I worked in as a kid had that guide there was also a copy of it taped to our ernie ball single strings whhich were in a wooden box and the guages in were in seperate sections.

I also remember having to open packs of slinky's to top up the spares ( the dealer went bust about 15 years ago...)

Oh man - that wasn't yesterday!! - Thanks for the trip back !

That must have been such a huge headache! Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Correct me if I am wrong but there's a spelling mistake on the word 'Balalaika'. It says Balaliaka. It something like Hilary Clinton giving the 'peregruzka' button to the russian minister rather than 'perezagruzka'. Cool
